Tenitra Michelle Williams, simply known as Michelle Williams, is a famous American record producer, actress, singer and songwriter, as well as a dancer.

In addition to Williams, the group consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, LeToya Luckett and Farrah Franklin. “Destiny’s Child” rose to prominence with the release of their second studio album called “The Writing’s on the Wall”, which produced such singles as “Say My Name” and “Bug a Boo”. Even though the album received a lot of critical praise and was commercially successful, the conflicts within the group grew stronger. Eventually, when Roberson, Luckett and Franklin left the group, “Destiny’s Child” became a trio. A newly formed girl group, “Destiny’s Child” came out with “Survivor”, their third studio release, which featured such popular singles as “Nasty Girl”, “Survivor” and “Independent Women”. During its debut week, the album managed to sell more than 663,000 copies and peaked at #1 on the music charts. To date, “Survivor” has sold more than 4.7 million copies in the United States alone. Considered to be one of the best girl groups in the music industry, “Destiny’s Child” disbanded in 2006, as each member went on to launch their solo careers. The last album recorded by the group entitled “Destiny Fulfilled” was released TO critical and commercial success in 2004.
